“…Such analysis is constrained by data availability and limitations (Canales et al 2023;Roberts and Weikmans 2022), including around definitions, methodological differences among finance providers, accounting issues, confidentiality restrictions and a lack of universally accepted definitions (for an overview see AFG Update 2023). Several studies claim that the self-reporting by climate finance providers and the lack of independent quality control result in low data reliability and sometimes substantial overestimations of finance flows (Weikmans et al 2017;UNEP 2021b;Toetzke, Stünzi and Egli 2022).…”

The UNEP Adaptation Gap Report (AGR) series provides an annual science-based assessment of the global progress on adaptation planning, financing, and implementation. It also explores options for enhancing and advancing national and global adaptation efforts and provides an in-depth analysis of selected issues of interest. In addition to the update on adaptation planning and implementation, the 2023 edition provides a more in-depth finance assessment chapter and includes a thematic deep-dive chapter on loss and damage. The report also highlights key case studies.

“…Third, exercises like the Global Stocktake offer an opportunity for critical reflection and learning about what works and why 17 . Confronting the consequences of symbolism in adaptation policy, and understanding its positive and negative influence, is essential for this type of reflection and learning.…”

“…Understanding where adaptation finance actually goes within countries is constrained by a lack of subnational data, meaning existing studies rely on country-level aggregate flows, rather than projectlevel tracking (Donner et al 2016). This lack of data hampers efforts to evaluate progress on adaptation, including the global stocktake of adaptation under the Paris Agreement (Tompkins et al 2018, Canales et al 2023.…”

The significant body of research on the supply of international finance for climate change adaptation shows that it is not well correlated to the vulnerability of countries. Vulnerability differs greatly within countries as well, yet very few studies examine subnational flows of adaptation finance. Here, we present evidence of the subnational allocation of international adaptation finance within the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The RMI is a highly salient case as it is a small island developing state comprised solely of low-lying atolls that is both in need of and a recipient of adaptation finance. We describe patterns of adaptation finance in the RMI between 2015 and 2019 based on analysis of a comprehensive government database of bilateral and multilateral aid projects. We find that flows of adaptation finance were heavily skewed by a small number of large-scale civil works projects in urban areas funded by multilateral institutions. Rural areas attracted smaller scale projects funded largely by bilateral donors. The overall distribution of adaptation finance across islands is highly sporadic, with hotspots of activity and areas of neglect. Our results suggest the allocation of adaptation finance to the RMI is insufficient relative to needs, is failing to reach places where it is needed, and could be better coordinated.
